A REVIEW OF “HALF CHRISTIAN HALF PAGAN: THE DILEMMA OF THE NIGERIAN CHRISTIAN”

Abstract

Half Christian half pagan: The dilemma of the Nigerian Christian is the product of a profound thought by an African Christian thinker on a burning issue in African Christian Theology, precisely, the problem of syncretism in Christian practice. The organization of the book is quite excellent. Each chapter begins with a good compass that tells the reader the itinerary. At the end of each chapter, the reader looks back across a well constructed schema which reflects the quality of the author‟s mind. The notes, bibliography coverage and index are quite impressive. He navigates his way through the maze of syncretism with maximum ingenuity.
